  • Minerals with Cleavage: Mica & Halite - Properties & Uses
    Here are two minerals with cleavage:

    1. Mica: Mica exhibits perfect cleavage in one direction, meaning it splits easily into thin, flat sheets. This is why it is used in things like makeup and insulation.

    2. Halite (rock salt): Halite has perfect cleavage in three directions at 90-degree angles, resulting in cubic shapes when broken. This is why salt crystals often have a cubic appearance.
